PGS 9: Broadcasting Channels, Format and Talent

2026-08-19

Hello, PUBG Esports Fans!

PGS Circuit 3 is about to conclude with an explosive four days of PUBG esports action at PGS 9!

As the Circuit Final approaches, here’s what you need to know about the tournament format, where to watch, drops and more.

Survival Stage: August 20th

Seeding for PGS 9 is based on teams’ performance in PGS 7 and 8. The Top 8 teams from those tournaments will bypass the Survival Stage and go directly to the Finals. Everyone else will duke it out in the 16-team Survival Stage on Thursday, in a last-chance dash to make it to the ultimate PGS Finals lobby. Only the Top 8 can advance from the Survival Stage!

Grand Finals: August 21st - 23rd

A no-holds-barred three day BO15 fight for the PGS Champion title. It’s the classic SUPER format you know and love - the team with the most points at the end of the third match day will be crowned the Champion. But since PGS 9 is the Circuit 3 Final, there’s a twist - the top performers in the PGS 7 & 8 Winner’s stage receive Advantage Points which are added to their standings at the start of the respective Final Stage.
